[QUOTE BY= Brother Jonathan]Partition seems more likely than corridor creation; one possibility is <a href="http://www.irpp.org/po/archive/mar99/janda.pdf">the “Jura solution”</a> (a PDF document). I don’t know whether that would be such a sufficiently unpleasant compromise for both sides as to make it eventually acceptable.[/QUOTE]<br />
Brother Jonathan,<br />
<br />
The "Jura solution" need not, does not and cannot apply to Québec both demographically and geographically. Federalists are married and have children with Sovereinists in Québec. They are friends with each other, they work with each other and they play with each other. The above also applies to the language issue, countless English/French marriages exists here and have lived by each other for centuries. Québecers are divided at referendum time but are not divided as a people. When sovereignty is acheived, Quebecers will continue living in harmony <u>as they do now</u>.<br />
<br />
The only ones making an overzealous fuss about the issue are Canadians in the ROC and I suspect they are the ones who will try and break the harmony out of revenge. They may quickly find out how federalists in Québec turn their backs on them should their fellow countrymen be threatened with harm from outside Québec.<br />
<br />
The Berlin style wall to be erected upon Québec sovereignty is nothing but a figment of ROC imagination. No corridor will be needed because no barriers will be put in place. It just wouldn't make any sense economically and politically.
